Ohio State is among the college football elite, but to be known as the top dog, the Buckeyes must upset the Georgia Dawgs in the Peach Bowl
Do that, and OSU finally moves to the head of its class. Fail, and it again finishes as the straight-A student who scores a 35 on the ACT, only to be outdone by the genius who scored a 36.What Ohio State football defense learned from giving up explosive plays to Michigan
The Buckeyes need not apologize for their habit of finishing just behind the best and brightest; Ohio State stands front and almost center among college football’s elite, residing comfortably within the 90th percentile. But eventually, it gets old being Phil Mickelson passing through Tiger Woods’ shadow; to experience greatness without being able to enjoy being known as the greatest, as Alabama has for much of the past decade.
Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, their rise to an even more elite level under Urban Meyer coincided with Alabama’s dynasty run and Clemson’s emergence as 1a. It didn’t help that Clemson clocked OSU 31-0 in the 2016 CFP semifinal or that Bama crushed the Buckeyes 52-24 in the 2020 title game. The Buckeyes beat a very good, but not incredible, Alabama, 42-35, rallying from a 15-point first-half deficit to score 28 unanswered points. Quarterback Cardale Jones never again had to buy a drink in Columbus; Ezekiel Elliott’s “85 yards through the heart of the south” began appearing on T-shirts and Meyer was the toast of the town.
